Hi, I'm a COI editor representing Luciano, a client of my employer, Porter Novelli. Requesting some updates to this article:

  • Add an article infobox:
    Robert Luciano
    Born1974 (age 49–50)
    OccupationFund manager
    Known forFounder of VGI Partners
  • Add to end of first paragraph of "Business career":
Luciano identified another opportunity in the exchanges industry at Caledonia, buying into the Chicago Mercantile Exchange after it shifted from a co-operative to a listed company, which became one of Caledonia's best investments.[1]
(This text had previously been in the article but got lost in a recent overhaul.)
  • In the third paragraph of the "Business career" section, I believe ", who describes himself as not being good with people,[2]" is inappropriate, given WP:BLPPUBLIC and the source article's tangential mention of the information.
  • Broadly speaking, both the third and fourth paragraphs of "Business career" (from "Luciano, who describes himself..." through "...gate at VGI’s office.") appear to cite opinion pieces inappropriately, per WP:RSOPINION. I think it may make sense to remove or at least compress and contextualize appropriately, e.g. "A 2022 opinion piece in the Financial Review alleged that Luciano was 'paranoid' about personal and information security." Further clarification on the panic room allegation has also emerged, with reporting in The Australian that Luciano has stated that the panic room was actually a soundproofed meeting space.[3]
  • In the penultimate paragraph, update "The merger has been described" to "One VGI shareholder described the merger", per the cited source.[4]
  • Add to very end of "Business career" section:
In November 2023, Luciano resigned from VGI Partners.[5] Luciano registered two new businesses, RML Partnership and Rosca Capital Management, in 2024, stating he had begun managing money again for his family.[3]
  • Add to very end of "Personal life":
He is married.[6]
